Completing system setup and configuration if network discovery is not enabled

If network discovery is not enabled on your laptop, you must complete the configuration and setup using this task.

1. Cable and configure your laptop or console:
   1. Set the console port on the laptop or console to 115,200 baud with N-8-1.
      Note: See your laptop or console's online help for how to configure the console port.
   2. Connect the console cable to the laptop or console, and connect the console port on the controller using the console cable that came with your system.
      
      
      
   3. Connect the laptop or console to the switch on the management subnet.
      
      
      
   4. Assign a TCP/IP address to the laptop or console, using one that is on the management subnet.
2. Plug the power cords into the controller power supplies, and then connect them to power sources on different circuits.
3. Turn on the power switches to both nodes.
   
   
   
   Note: Intial booting may take up to eight minutes.
4. Assign an initial node management IP address to one of the nodes.

   If the management network has DHCP...	Then...
   Configured	Record the IP address assigned to the new controllers.
   Not configured	Open a console session using PuTTY, a terminal server, or the equivalent for your environment. Note: Check your laptop or console's online help if you do not know how to configure PuTTY. Enter the management IP address when prompted by the script.

5. Using System Manager on your laptop or console, configure your cluster:
   1. Point your browser to the node management IP address.
      Note: The format for the address is https://x.x.x.x.
   2. Configure the system using the data you collected in the NetApp ONTAP Configuration guide.
      ONTAP Configuration Guide
6. Verify the health of your system by running Config Advisor.
7. After you have completed the initial configuration, go to the NetApp ONTAP Resources page for information about configuring additional features in ONTAP.
   Note: The default port configuration for Unified configuration systems is CNA mode; if connecting to an FC host network, you have to modify the ports for FC mode.
